<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:10.0pt'>I am not sure whether anyone can help me –
but I have inherited a number of problems. The school I am currently
working in has 4/5 year old ACER computers which are still under lease (gasp!).
The problem the school faces is that a number of these computers have died and
we need to ensure that they are in working order before the computers can be
sent back to the lease company at the end of the year. As the machines are so
old, it is hard to source working parts – and to send it to repairs will
cost a small fortune. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2

I am wondering whether any one has any of these computers and would be willing
to sell these computers as either parts or as is? The specific models are Acer
Power SE (tower case) Acer Power 4300 (desktop case)</span></font></p>
